Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticized the government, writing that "there is no Israeli who doesn't want to bring all hostages home and defeat Hamas. The current government has failed in both of these goals that it defined itself." He added that "simultaneously, it has brought reservists to unprecedented exhaustion and turned most of the world against us. To hide this failure, the government is returning to its expertise of tearing the nation apart and creating two camps." According to him, "the current government is autoimmune, causing the state to fight against itself. Only replacing it will bring correction."
